The siren call of the flow battery has lured many a renewable energy researcher with its promise of large scale, long duration energy storage. In contrast to conventional battery arrays that pour out the juice for four hours or so, flow batteries can store a day's worth of wind or solar power.
A liquid flow battery is a type of energy storage system that rely on fluids, called nanoelectrofuels (NEF), to generate electricity. They have been researched for many years and typically involve two chemical liquids that flow over the opposite sides of an ion-exchange membrane to create a flow of electric current. Unlike Li-Ion batteries, they do not rely on solid electrodes.
Australia is one of the fastest growing energy storage markets in the world with the most mature storage technologies being pumped hydro and lithium-ion batteries [i]. But other technologies have been developing in the background - such as flow batteries - which provide opportunities in larger scale applications.
Flow batteries, in particular, offer an opportunity to make renewable storage more affordable, and could help to grow the industry - increasing the prospects for utility-scale development of solar energy storage.
